Sure the process is easy to do, but it takes time, and there are issues with embedding. The major issue is that the embedded fonts will not display in Kindle for iOS. So if I modify the eBook I simply add a statement to bold everything because that does work in Kindle for iOS and I like the way Caecilia and Caecilia Condensed look when bolded. But all text being bolded makes heading blend in too well with normal text. Plus I don't like having to take the time to do it and then winding up with a Personal Document rather than a Book.

Hmz, ok. I can understand the time aspect. I've just bought 16 "Complete Works" compilations of Delphi Classics (they have a 25% discount), and their e-books are so fracking huge that Calibre is actually unable to convert them. ("Too many index entries. Calibre does not support creating multiple indices at this time.")
Therefore I have to split up each book in Volume I to III (or IV or V for some), using EPUBSplit, export, then fix the contents on the first over-arching contents page and fix the guide-tag in Sigil, and import the series again and then convert.
It's a similar disassembly/fixing proces as what you need to do; not difficult, but it costs quite a bit of time.
